Help on Georgian Bay

[seamabz]

My Dad and I are fishing Honey Harbour with little success. We are alternating between spinners, poppers, jerks the whole shabang. We are landing a few here and there, but nothing like I remember. I have a week left on vacation and looking for a little advice on bass, pike, walleye. Thanks, tight lines.

Sounds like you're firing everything in your arsenal! I've never fished Honey Harbour, but it's supposed to be a decent fishery... Hopefully a member with experience on that body of water can chime in with some advice for you!

Try dropshotting a 1/2ounce weight, circle hook two feet above, 3.5 inch Gulp minnow. Edges of weeds and structure is the ticket.

The water is lower and temperatures this year are warmer. I find when surface temps get up around 70 degrees, things slow down considerably.The fish become complacent and inducing them is work! Try trolling spinners (Mepps 2 or 3, maybe silver or chartreuse with a little piece of worm on the end) at slow speeds as close to shore as possible. You'll cover more ground and find them that way. If that doesn't work go to deeper waters and troll divers.

Thanks for the help. Went out this morning and cough a few on divers, we are going to try the drop shot tonight see how that works. Thanks again, and please any suggestions help.

We fished HH a couple weeks ago.

Green power grub jigs worked well for the small mouth bass. We found worked humps in the 15 foot region near deep water (Meaning 30 feet or more). For Pike we trolled crippled herring tipped with a 3 inch minow. These same areas hold pike.

Missed out on the pickerel as late evening fishing in these waters is not our bag. Too rockey in the dark. I am good at hitting rocks in the day light!

Hope this post isn't too late and that your luck has changed.
